ShopBot PartWorks is a user-friendly CAD/CAM design
program that takes you from
laying out your design to producing a ShopBot Part File,
ready to cut on your tool. PartWorks is
the easiest to use and quickest to learn 2.5D Design and CNC
machining software product on the market. It gives you
accurate design tools, impressive toolpathing functionality,
and dazzling 3D previews all
wrapped up in the a simple, intuitive, interface. It is an
excellent starting point for a any new CNC router owner. |

Several years ago we recognized that one
of the most difficult aspects of robotic tools for people new to the technology was the
process of turning a part of project concept into the computer 'tool-path'
file that guides the motion of cutting or machining. That's why, with
the help of the Vectric software team we have created PartWorks
(and PartWorks 3D) and include it with every new ShopBot tool.
PartWorks provides you ---
Design Layout Tools
• Extensive import filters for DXF, AI, EPS, and PDF
files. (Export to DXF, EPS, AI.)
• Import and trace
functions for bitmap images and art (JPG, BMP, TIF, GIF,
PNG).
• Advanced Drawing Tools for creating geometric
and freeform shapes.
• Interactive tab placement for holding parts during
cutting.
• Powerful tools for editing, fixing, expanding, and
developing
imported artwork.
• Advanced text editing tools giving you complete
control over spacing, kerning, line, and paragraph
formatting. Text on curves and block copying to linear
and circular arrays.
• Import, position, and preview PartWorks3D files.
•
Layers, and layer management.
Toolpathing Strategies
[Brief Tutorial on Toolpathing]
• Profiling with Lead-ins; outside, inside or
on line
• Pocketing
• V-Carving; any closed vector
whether text or art work
• Drilling
• 3D ramps
into material
• Simulation of custom tool shapes for
molding
• User editable tool database with pre-defined
tools for ShopBot's Starter Bit Kit and many other
cutters
• Save work as ShopBot Part File (.sbp) to run on
ShopBot or as .crv file to work with again in PartWorks
PartWorks was developed for ShopBot by
Vectric, Ltd. and is based on their popular V-Carve Pro Software.

PartWorks comes with PartWorks 3D which will allow you to create
3D cutting-files from models created in your
favorite 3D modeling program or downloaded from the web. Machine 3D
models with 1, 2, or 4 sides. Slice models to create more depth.
PartWorks 3D provides you ---
3D Machining Tools
• Model import from STL, 3D DXF, 3DS, OBJ, WRL, LWO,
V3M, and ShopBot Probe Files.
• Orient and Scale file
before machining.
• Roughing and finishing toolpaths
for 1, 2, or 4 sided machining.
• Unique automatic
border detection to limits machining to area within
model.
• Interactive tab placement (tabs can be used
to hold the part during machining).
• Z-level roughing passes.
• Cut-out toolpath.
• Model slicing.
• Realistic previews of finished parts.
PartWorks was developed for ShopBot by
